Take Backs

Today I decided to give the ol' blogging thing another whirl. In looking over the blogs I had created, I narrowed the list to the main Evolution of a Painter. Then, as I went about my day, I decided that I might have been too hasty in deleting this one. I like that name, Stream of Consciousness.

So, I've reactivated it and I'll see what part is plays in my pathway of enlightenment. You'll notice I didn't say pathway "to" enlightenment. I've come to believe that enlightenment is a journey, not a destination. I know I'm not the first to come to that determination. It's just that now the concept feels most comfortable to me.

If enlightenment were permanently attainable and not a daily adventurous journey, there would be no need for wisdom or inspiration along those lines. But since the human mind is so easily distracted by the worries of this existence, it's helpful if we constantly bolster one another and encourage our co-sojourners (I made up a word?) to avidly pursue the pathway of enlightenment.

I truly believe we each have our unique path to follow. So, while no one can tell another exactly what steps to take, we stand a better chance of advancing if we cheer each other on to just take the next step, whatever it may be.

So, it is in that spirit that I will use this blog to put out energy into the cosmos. What an exciting prospect to tap into the universal energy and jump on that cosmic current that will move each of us where we need to be if we only open ourselves to the potential. Come along, fellow discoverer.

Today I leave you with the words of Bill or Ted, not sure which, "Be excellent to each other."
